"After the usual explanation that it was a “close call”, I asked what I could have done better and was told that I needed to be more consistent."
Probably he just gave another "usual explanation" from his handbook.
That's the problem when you have a recruiter as a proxy between you and your interviewer, specially when you get the negative answer. When they get the "No" answer, you are not profitable anymore. You are now a liability. A time-consuming problem they have to deal with. With that couldn't-be-more-generic-feedback, it seems to be your case.
Would be better to reach your interviewers directly and get feedback from them.

- khedoros 10y agoGoogle gave me the answer "Unfortunately, we can't provide you any feedback from the interviewers." A couple weeks later, they sent me a questionnaire for me to provide them feedback. I suppose that if I'd made notes of each interviewer's name, I could've taken a guess at their Google e-mail addresses and tried to contact them directly, but that's definitely not something they would've made easy for me.

- tgoldenberg 10y agoI asked for the email addresses of my interviewers to thank them personally but was told they weren't allowed to give them out.
